GIRLTRASH! is the story of three hapless chicks getting by any way they can. Tyler and Daisy are small-time criminals and best buds. Their friendship is put to the test when Tyler is seduced by the two-timing temptress, LouAnne. When LouAnne double-crosses Tyler and Daisy by stealing money from the local Kingpin, Tyler and Daisy are thrown into a world of shit. They need to find the money and LouAnne before they turn up dead... or worse.
Created by Angela Robinson (The L Word, Hung, D.E.B.S.), the 10 original webisodes premiered online weekly, to overwhelming success. It was recently announced that the Girltrash! saga would be making the leap from webisodes... to movie, with filming underway in December 2009.
ABOUT THE FILM:
POWER UP gears up for Angela Robinson’s GIRLTRASH: All Night Long!
Based on her extremely successful Web series from Showtime, GIRLTRASH, the movie stars Lisa Rieffel (lead singer of Killola), Gabrielle Christian (South of Nowhere), Michelle Lombardo Quarterlife), Mandy Musgrave (South of Nowhere), Rose Rollins (The L word), Kate French (One Tree Hill) and Clementine Ford (The L word). Directing will be Alexandra Martinez Kondracke (The L Word) and Angela Robinson (D.E.B.S., Herbie Fully Loaded, The L word) & Lisa Thrasher (Itty Bitty Titty Committee) will be producing. Stacy Codikow (D.E.B.S., Itty Bitty Titty Committee) founder of POWER UP is executive producing.
In the tradition of "Go" and "Superbad," “GIRLTRASH: All Night Long” is the story of five girls and one epic night. Daisy and Tyler are two hapless rockers trying to make it to a Battle of the Bands on time. They are waylaid by Daisy's sister, Colby, who has her sights set on hooking up with the girl of her dreams, Misty (that is, if she can manage to have a conversation with her first.) As the night spirals out of control, the girls will find love, lust, girl-fights, rock and roll, and a whole lot of stoned sorority girls. Oh, did we mention it's a musical?
Principal Photography begins December 2009 in Los Angeles.
